The blue wings somehow reminds me of painted metal lol. Thanks for the pics Kai-V
I reminds me much of Galaxy Pegasis for some reason

Thanks Kai-V! Looks cool but I swear one of the wings always looks like it goes further outwards.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.

I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again

I think that's just the angle combined with the fact that the wings are actually slanted upwards.

Looks great.

Ah! Now I see it.

I'm very excited for this bey!!! It'll replace my old worn Valkyrie layer if its any good. Which it might, but we don't know yet.

Just having really looked at it now it doesn't look like it will be great since all the protrusions look like they would work in left rather than right spin. Either way looks awesome though.

Beyblades have been like that and have still been good in the past, though (Blitz comes to mind). Mind you, I'm thinking about MFB in particular and that was metal so maybe since we are dealing with plastic again that could change how such protrusions perform when facing the "wrong" direction.

In any case, if the Victory Valkyrie protrusions were flipped, it would have way too much recoil, just like a lot of Plastic generation Beyblades did; and I don't think that would work well especially with the Burst mechanic of this generation.

Plus, we have to trust that they tested this design extensively before finalising it, so it should not flop right on release hah.

Thank you Tyler Le and J.I.N.B.E.E!.

yeah, just like they did with horusood spread edge.

Wish I had more time to actually label an illustration of Victory Valkyrie, but I don't, so I'll just say I have high hopes for it. Lots of areas in the Layer appear to be designed to draw opposing contact points in, with the goal being to use the force of movement against them and burst the opponent.

There's also the fact that the various sharp edges in this design — most notably, at the very tip of its most prominent spikes — should apply a higher amount of pressure than the same force distributed over a wider spike (like Valkyrie's).

The new driver is cool

Your claim that it would have a mode switch gimmick is still wrong...?

All good points. Certainly a step in the right direction, far as I'm concerned. The more Burst moves toward this kind of performance-based design theory, the more I'll be attracted to the basic idea. Now if only... Metal.

Metal in Burst is just a bad idea, even if you ignore the (flagrant) safety concerns.

Without some seriously bloated discs, metal Burst would also be physically impossible, far as I can tell. And even with a metal layer and bloated disc, you wouldn't see explosions like you do now - the momentum would be lost to gravity and you'd end up with little more than a Metal Fight knockout. That in itself is probably reason enough to never combine metal and burst - but I don't believe safety really factors into that equation, considering we've survived so many years of brutal metal-based combat already.

Still, a metal version of this layer would conceivably work well in a Metal Fight scenario; primarily because it appears to accentuate performance features lacking in current burst designs. I guess that's getting off topic?

I think that situation changes when metal parts are flying out of the stadium at high speed. :')

I think if the Layer is aggressively designed enough, flying plastic can be mildly dangerous too. Heh, imagine those giant fake Weight Disks as Burst Disks.

Haha, definitely. But we're talking about a quadruple the weight, probably.

The rubber is black? And the shape is very weird, with steps?

Jesus, what even is that. If that's actually rubber it will wear out in like 10 launches, RDF (wear wise) of burst.

Yeah, was my thought as well, though surely that had occurred to them ...? We'll see.

Oh my goodness, that looks awesome and weird! How its performance goes is the real question.

I meant in that post it look like F (final drive) so when I saw it I just post, plus it looks like gears in the driver

---

Bladers around the world, HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT:serious:

It does not look like Final Drive either... And there are no gears, that is probably just the rubber inside the Driver to make sure it does not just fall off.

Yeah, was my thought as well, though surely that had occurred to them ...? We'll see.

Isn't black rubber more durable? That's why we don't have whitewall tires IIRC.

Hm, after some research, it is true, but it is not the rubber that is better: they inject carbon in it, which gives off that black colour. It always sounds weird when I read people say that transparent or gold plastic is more fragile, or in this case that a different colour of rubber is more resistant: chemically, you are talking about the same thing, so there has to be something else added or removed from it to make it different hah.
